I haven’t done a blog in ages so thought I should catch up a bit... Warning does contain an obligatory headtilt, rude words and silliness. Some of this has gone onto warped so sorry for repeating myself (burp)
Last Little My left you she was talking bun ballooning with FC and following headtilters around the room.
The surgical consultant I am being referred to shall hereby be named SC.
So, FC and GC have apparently been writing to SC.
SC and GC have each other’s mobile numbers I know...
hi folks,
OMG success at logging in, now wot to say. First just to update on manuka honey.... after a long conversation with the head staff nurse in charge of my chemo the subject of manuka honey came up.I had been taken it after reading, like alot of ther people , the benifits to the immune system. As it turns out there has been various tests done on this and the results have shown that certain types of pollen collected and used in manuka honey has a detrimental effect on types of chemo( MUST...
Palative care came out today. I was worried before hand whether I was going to have the house all clean, mum sorted, sister sorted, incase she thought I wasnt coping well!!!
Though I don't know why i was that irrational as I know that they won't judge me for the tiniest amount of mess, like a pile of washing or an unvacuumed floor but i seem to be irrational about a few things lately, or worry over the most silliest of things!
I managed to get a little sleep last night - well this morning...
OK I think I am making too much jibberish on messengers and community boards. I think I am overtired and need some rest but I actually feel quite hyper. Real bad indigestion too - Maybe I have eaten a magical herb - I wish! - or maybe I have just eaten too much crap from feeling depressed I dunno.
All I have been doing the last couple of days is crying. Crying that much that my eyes are puffy, red, sore, my lips are sooo sore & I am pale in complexion and dark circles under my once sparkly eyes...
Its been a shite week, not health wise for Dave or me but for family and friends........
It started last Tues...............
Daves younger sister rang to say that her hubby was going in for a scan that day, x-rays showed large shadow on his lung, consultant mentioned cancer......bastard. They now join that dreaded waiting game we all hate, he is fine with it.....not having treatment, had a good life (71)....toured the world in his younger days on the racing bike curcuit, had his own bike shop when...
Went to Tenerife last week.Really enjoyed the break.Back at work today and tired out again!! Anyway going to assesment about the retirement on ill health grounds Friday.Being postie brings a bit of pain on around scars and from inside the scars if that makes sense! Dont think I could do manual work eight hours a day anymore!Apart from that seem to be recovering well.Bugs me though that I cant eat as much as I use to.Getting use to it though and was overweight before.So eight months post op now and...
We recieved a leter late last week for mum to go into Hospital and speak with the consultant about her Chemo being started.
Well we were hardly surprised when they turned mum down, saying that she is too weak to undergo it! Her eating has not improved, and she has lost yet more weight. It's gotten to the point now, that I have to take her to the toilet in a wheelchair, or else she will fall over, steady her on the toilet, help wash & bathe her, sit her up in bed, and she is too weak that she can...
I cannot seem to cope any more. Everything seems such a big deal. I'm finding it so hard to get out of bed, even the sheer thought of having to get out and go downstairs brings me to tears. I have no interest in my games that I used to adore. Every little imperfection about myself has blossomed into a big Oak. Gawd. I'm feeling dreadful. I can see myself with the same signs as I had a few years back. I have lost interest in food. I'm hardly drinking any fluid - it makes me gag for some reason. The...
It is strange how a seemingly innocuous remark can set off a chain of events which end up with my husband and I not talking and me screaming like a banshee around the house, desperate to smash up something to vent my anger, and it is he who is receiving chemotherapy!!
I thought I had done everything I could, cooking specific foods to help with his diet, going with him to appointments, encouraging him to be positive when his naturally pessimistic nature took over with regard to his survival from...
